MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy is set to launch in October with 17 resorts in Las Vegas and other U.S. cities.
Citing compatible corporate cultures and the ability to add value to their loyalty programs, Marriott International and MGM Resorts International have announced a partnership agreement that will begin to roll out in October. The 20-year licensing agreement also introduces MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, which includes 17 MGM resorts and links both loyalty programs.
Starting in October, several MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy hotels will be available for booking on Marriott’s digital platforms, including marriott.com and the Marriott Bonvoy mobile app, with all properties expected to be available by the end of the year. These resorts will continue to be available on MGM Resorts’ channels, including MGMRewards.com and the MGM Resorts mobile app. Members of both loyalty programs will receive information about linking accounts and new program benefits in the coming months.

Eight MGM resorts in Las Vegas will join the new collection: Vdara Hotel & Spa, MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, NoMad Las Vegas, The Signature at MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Luxor Hotel and Casino and Excalibur Hotel & Casino.
